DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/26/18): NBA DFS Lineups

Since I have taken over the Monday and Tuesday Draftkings articles, we'll start strong. First off, stacking the Pelicans-Suns game will be your best bet, especially going in on Anthony Davis. The Pelicans are one of three teams on the second night of a back-to-back, the Pistons and Rockets being the others, but Davis is […]

Ben Simmons Flirts With a Triple-Double on Sunday

Philadelphia 76ers point guard/forward Ben Simmons capped off his week with another stat-stuffing performance on Sunday, scoring a modest 16 points on 6-for-12 shooting with a lot of supporting stats as well. Simmons was active on defense in this one, posting both one block and one steal in his team-high 36 minutes, while putting in […]

Robert Covington Falls Short Again

Philadelphia 76ers forward Robert Covington failed to hit double figures against the Wizards on Sunday, connecting on one triple to score nine points on the night on a sorry 2-for-7 from the field. Covington wasn't overly impactful anywhere else either, as he posted just two rebounds, one assist and two steals to his totals in […]

Kyle Anderson Gets Going Against Cleveland

San Antonio Spurs forward Kyle Anderson once again showed his potential of being a superb all-around fantasy player on Sunday against Cleveland, as he scored 10 points with six rebounds, four assists, three blocks and two steals in 30 minutes. Anderson has been mostly quiet this month, but he's had a bunch of similar outbursts […]

Joe Ingles Fills The Stat Sheet In Win

Utah Jazz small forward Joe Ingles had a solid all-around game against the Dallas Mavericks on Saturday night. He didn't shoot particularly well, scoring just 12 points on 4-for-12 shooting. However, Ingles chipped in eight assists, four rebounds, two three-pointers, two steals and two blocks. While Ingles' hot shooting may be coming back down to […]

Paul George Ice-Cold In Loss To The Warriors

Oklahoma City small forward Paul George was atrocious from the field against the Golden State Warriors on Saturday night. He shot a putrid 1-for-14 from the field and didn't do much else to make up for his frigid shooting. George added just five rebounds, three assists and two steals to his line. It was a […]

Danny Green Will Play on Sunday

San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Danny Green (illness) will play against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Sunday. He was listed as probable before the game, but it sounds like he'll be good to go against the Cavs. He missed Friday's game against the Denver Nuggets due to food poisoning. Bryn Forbes, Patty Mills and Derrick White will go back […]

Manu Ginobili Ruled Out Sunday

San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Manu Ginobili (chest) has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The injury is not serious, but it does not take much for the 40-year-old to be sidelined. Bryn Forbes and Patty Mills will split up Ginobili's minutes, but that is only roughly 15 to 20 minutes of […]

Danilo Gallinari Listed As Day-To-Day

Los Angeles Clippers forward Danilo Gallinari (hand) is listed as day-to-day, but he could play against the Denver Nuggets on Tuesday. Gallinari sat out of Friday's game against the Phoenix Suns. Head coach Doc Rivers said Gallinari's ability to play will be a "pain-tolerance thing," so it sounds like a minor injury. Tyrone Wallace will […]

Harrison Barnes Very Disappointing on Saturday

Dallas Mavericks small forward Harrison Barnes couldn't get anything going on Saturday against the Utah Jazz, finishing with only nine points in 30 minutes on the floor. Barnes missed all four attempts from downtown and shot 4-for-11 overall in what was his first game without double-digit points since Jan. 20. He also shared the team-worst […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/25/18): NBA DFS Lineups

There are a few games today, but DraftKings broke them up into two different slates. This article will be focusing around the games at 8 PM, as that is seen as the "featured" slate on DraftKings. There will be limited options, so I'll be trying to find some values and top plays here. In this […]

Ben Simmons Hands Out Seven Assists in Win

Philadelphia 76ers point guard/forward Ben Simmons came through with another All-Star-caliber performance on Saturday, dropping 17 points on the Magic while shooting 7-for-11 from the field in the process. Simmons was facilitating the ball well in this one, dishing out seven assists in the game while pulling down four rebounds as well. He only had […]

Robert Covington Looks a Bit Better on Saturday

Philadelphia 76ers forward Robert Covington shook off his poor performance in Chicago with a pretty decent night against the Magic on Saturday. Covington drained four triples on his way to 12 points in the easy win, shooting 4-for-10 from the field on the night. He wasn't a factor on defense but did help out with […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/24/18): NBA DFS Lineups

There are a lot of solid options in the first weekend back after the horrendously long All-Star break. Due to a projected low-score and slow-pace, I am staying away from Miami/Memphis and Dallas/Utah games with OKC/Golden State and Portland/Phoenix being our highest-scoring and fastest-paced games of the day. In this article, I will be providing […]

Wilson Chandler Records Double-Double In Win

Denver Nuggets forward Wilson Chandler had another solid game in a win over the San Antonio Spurs on Friday night. Chandler scored 18 points and added 16 rebounds, four three-pointers and three assists. This marks the fourth straight quality game for Chandler, who has been disappointing fantasy-wise this season. During this four-game stretch, Chandler is […]

Jonathon Simmons is Probable for Saturday

Orlando Magic guard/forward Jonathon Simmons (ankle) is probable for Saturday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. The good news is that this ankle issue is not the same as the lingering injury Simmons suffered last month. He is technically listed as a game-time decision, but is fully expected to suit up against the Sixers. Owners should […]

Paul Zipser Won't Play Saturday

Chicago Bulls forward Paul Zipser (foot) has been ruled out of Saturday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Zipser injured his foot in Thursday's loss to the Philadelphia 76ers. He was unable to return to that contest after playing just seven minutes and will miss Saturday's game. Denzel Valentine and David Nwaba should see additional playing […]

Justin Holiday Ruled Out Against Minnesota

Chicago Bulls guard/forward Justin Holiday has been ruled out of Saturday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. This is the second straight game that Holiday and center Robin Lopez have been healthy scratches. The Bulls appear fully committed to letting their younger players get playing time. David Nwaba started on Thursday and finished with 21 points, […]

Jimmy Butler Ruled Out for Saturday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Jimmy Butler (knee) has been ruled out of Saturday's game against the Chicago Bulls. The MRI results have yet to be released, but Butler will sit the second night of the back-to-back regardless. There was "some optimism" that Butler did not tear his ACL, according to David Aldridge. Nemanja Bjelica is expected […]

Tyreke Evans Ruled Out on Saturday

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Tyreke Evans (ribs) has been ruled out of Saturday's game against the Miami Heat. He injured his rib in the fourth quarter of Friday's loss to Cleveland. Evans was clearly in pain and headed to the locker room and did not return to the contest. He will be kept out of the […]

Josh Richardson Misses Game-Winner

Miami Heat guard/forward Josh Richardson narrowly missed a last-second shot which would have gave Miami the win over the New Orleans Pelicans Friday night. Richardson was able to put up 15 points on 50.0 percent shooting with seven rebounds, three assists, five steals and two blocks in 38 minutes. Richardson also went 0-for-2 from the […]

T.J. Warren Fills It Up

Phoenix Suns forward T.J. Warren filled the stat sheet against the Los Angeles Clippers in a 128-117 loss. Warren finished with 27 points, eight rebounds and one from deep to go along with two steals. Warren has looked great throughout the season, and it seems like the All-Star break did him well. He should continue […]

Brandon Ingram Busts Out With All-Around Line

Los Angeles Lakers forward Brandon Ingram had himself a night on Friday, as he scored 15 points and nine boards on an efficient six of nine shooting in a dominating 124-102 win over the Mavericks. Ingram added three assists, two steals and also swatted away three shots to flash his versatility. He's finally rewarding his owners, as […]

Pascal Siakam Scores a Healthy 17 Points Off the Bench

Toronto Raptors forward Pascal Siakam looked great coming off the bench in the Raptors' loss to the Bucks on Friday, scoring 17 points on a clean 7-for-10 shooting, while going 3-for-4 from the line as well. Siakam did little else to bolster his stat line in this one, but he did come away with a […]

Andrew Wiggins Has A Very Solid Game Friday Night

Minnesota Timberwolves small forward Andrew Wiggins played well Friday night versus the Houston Rockets. Wiggins scored 21 points, going 8-for-16 from the floor, with three of those made shots coming from long range. This was the first game in the month of February where Wiggins had 20 or more points. So far in the month […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/23/18): NBA DFS Lineups

We're back to another huge Friday slate! We had six games last night to wet our whistles, but it's now time for a slate with double digit games. It seems as if most player's price tags dropped a bit from the All Star Break, which gives up a lot of good value, even if they […]

Carmelo Anthony On Fire From Downtown In Win

Oklahoma City Thunder power forward Carmelo Anthony was white-hot from downtown in a tight win over the Sacramento Kings on Thursday night. Anthony came out of the gates firing, hitting four three-pointers in the first quarter. He ended up finishing the game with 23 points on 8-for-17 shooting, including seven three-pointers in 34 minutes. After […]

Paul George Has Another Solid All-Around Line

Oklahoma City Thunder small forward Paul George had a near triple-double in a win over the Sacramento Kings on Thursday. George scored a team-high 26 points to go along with eight rebounds, seven assists and nine free throws. It was another solid passing game for George, who has been showing some signs of decent playmaking […]

Rudy Gay Will Play Friday

San Antonio Spurs forward Rudy Gay (heel) will play against the Denver Nuggets on Friday. Gay will have a minutes limit, but will play for the first time since late December. Head coach Gregg Popovich mentioned Gay playing roughly 15-20 minutes against Denver. It would not be surprising if Gay had a minutes limit the […]

Reggie Bullock is Expected to Play Friday

Detroit Pistons guard/forward Reggie Bullock (illness) is expected to play against the Boston Celtics on Friday. He is not listed on the injury report, but did miss practice on Wednesday. He was able to return to practice on Thursday, so Bullock is fully expected to play against Boston. He's averaging 15.0 points, 3.9 rebounds, 1.9 […]
